Fish Tacos with Chipotle Tarter Sauce

It has been one of those weeks. You know. The weeks where you shouldn't have even bothered to get out of bed. I've wanted to pull the covers back over my head the minute my alarm has gone off every single morning, and I'm 99% sure I just should have. Did you all know that there is a lime shortage??? Well, there is. Before you throw stones at me, I realize this is very much a first world problem. Also, it's rained all week. And to start my week off, I discovered I left my umbrella at my desk, in my office. It was super awesome to walk from the parking garage to my building in the pouring rain.

On Tuesday morning, while dragging the garbage cans to the curb (in the rain), my iPhone fell out of my pocket and fell face first on the pavement where it died a slow, agonizing death for about 12 hours. That actually ended up being a bright spot in my week. I was able to get out of my uber expensive contract and find a more affordable option with unlimited data! Yay for me.

It's Wednesday now and if my head can hit my pillow before I start sobbing uncontrollably, I'll count today as a success. Don't feel sorry for me. I'm just being a total girl. Seriously. I whine a lot, don't I? I'm blaming it on the weather. Some people air all their dirty laundry on Facebook. I use my blog. On a positive note, I'm not complaining about a worthless husband, boyfriend or children. You are welcome.

The bright spot today has got to be these delicious Fish Tacos. Indulge me in some reminiscing if you will. I was living on the bay in Tampa. It was a lovely fall day. The windows were opened, a brisk breeze was blowing in and Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffman was on the Food Network. THIS is where I found the fish taco to beat all fish tacos. Dare I say, the Holy Grail of Fish Tacos? I'm saying it anyway.

In my opinion, there are two ingredients that make Ingrid's fish tacos the best. 1. Her chipotle tarter sauce. Mayo, chipotles and the juice and zest of lime. Mmm! I seriously just smacked my lips together. B. Her use of zest. Not only does she use the lime in the tarter sauce, she uses orange zest as a topping on the tacos. You wouldn't think you would notice something so small but trust me, you do! Here is the link for Ingrid's Chicharrones Fish Tacos. I adore her and her recipes!

I'm Aimee, and I was born and raised in Central Kentucky. As hard as I tried to escape, I'm back and embracing my Kentucky roots. I have a love affair with food. This stems from my childhood when my grandfather would give my cousins and I $1 for every time we cleaned our plates. Most notably this would happen at Biancke's restaurant in Cynthiana, Kentucky. This is where my story begins....
